Single-Payer: The Gateway to Socialist Paradise


Dark Angel Politics  “ 'Free health care for all is not only a no brainer but immoral to dismiss.”  That was in the email I got from my successful, highly-educated daughter in 2010, just before every Democrat in Congress voted to implement Obamacare , also known as the ironically-named “Affordable Care Act”.   


"They also simultaneously voted to exempt themselves from the “benefits” of Obamacare, and instead bravely shouldered the burdens of maintaining their own privately-run luxury healthcare program. 


"Now it appears that almost all Democrats in Congress, at least among their leadership, favor implementing a “single-payer” (i.e., government owned and operated) healthcare system.  For you, of course, not for them.

"Do you seriously believe that Bernie Sanders, Nancy Pelosi, Kamala Harris, Cory Booker, Elizabeth Warren, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez or any of the other Dem single-payer advocates have any intention of giving up their Cadillac private healthcare to go on single-payer themselves?


"As in George Orwell’s Animal Farm, some animals are more equal than others.  One set of laws are for those who are ruled, and another for the rulers." . . .


"French writer Albert Camus recognized, “the welfare of humanity is always the alibi of tyrants.' ” . . .

'Health Care' for All — Affordability for None  . . . "However, the Left fights not for Anglo-American concepts of individual liberty.  Rather, it seeks, with the cultlike passion of all anti-democratic movements, hard Left or far Right, liberation.  Liberation from tradition, personal responsibility, and most of all liberation of government -- especially its ruling clique -- from checks and balances, from rights reserved to the people and other fundamentals of American constitutionalism.

"Such governments convert citizens into subjects.  They do so by promising voters more, more necessities and more desires.  This works because, as French writer Albert Camus recognized, “the welfare of humanity is always the alibi of tyrants.' ” . . .
